Sturdy!!!

Easy to assemble.

Great shelf

Solid

Shelving

Broken in box, Box looked completely fine after driving home for an hour and half opened the box and the main pole was comoletely bent. Sam's customer support so far is taking forever to answer the phone. Good luck!

the shelf itself is perfect. for the price even greater. but what you save in price you lose in QC of Sam's and their shipping partner(s). as MANY have stated you have a high likelihood of some damage to the shelf. my box came in the mail with significant damage. when building it i noticed the top of the main support had been crushed in. i was surprised i was able to assemble it 99% of the way with just one support bolt being impossible to use due to the damage. I was able to get it built minus one support bolt on the top shelf and thankfully Sam's CS online immediately offered me a 25% refund for the damage.

I have purchased 2 so far and plan to purchase 2 more! My comments: WHAT THEY ARE: - Very sturdy and extremely well engineered and built. - Excellent for commercial and light industrial use, and perfect for home use in a garage, basement or any other home storage area. I'm sure they will not disappoint. - High quality, made in TAIWAN, NOT China, so finish is high quality and NO sharp edges like found in lesser quality mainland produced products. - Attractive paint finish that will look great in any warehouse, garage or basement. - EASY and QUICK to assemble by ONE person with NO (zero!) tools needed, though it is best to keep a rubber mallet or small piece of 2x4 handy to more easily tap in the cross beams into the slots. - They are HEAVY! Each full unit weighs about 120 pounds in the box, so do have someone else to help you or at least ask someone at the store to help you with loading them onto the cart and onto your vehicle. - Can be "daisy-chained," one assembled into the other which if you buy several can free up a frame end and allow you to build an extra unit for every 3 purchased if you spread out the number of shelves (ie, 3 shelves each instead of 4). - Make sure that when you buy it that you are getting the Member's Mark unit that is made in Taiwan. One Sam's Club store had put the very similar, but in my opinion not as good, competitor's unit (a well-known brand, but lower weight rating, and not the same quality IMO) in the place where these would be stocked and I had to get the store manager to have someone pull the right ones down from the top of the store pallet racking. - Regarding other comments about damaged units, I had very minor damage on the end of a channel in one of them but it was easily straightened. Best to inspect the unit at before taking it away from the store if you can rather than getting stuck with a damaged one or having to return a 120 pound white elephant!. And having the open box in your vehicle is not a big deal anyway because once you get it to where you're going, the best way to unload it from your vehicle by yourself is to open the box and take out the pieces one at a time instead of trying to move the whole thing at once. WHAT THEY ARE NOT: - As sturdy as they are, they are NOT pallet racking and I would not recommend using them for pallet storage. - In my opinion, and again as sturdy and well-built as they are, I would not recommend them for heavy industrial use, and personally, I would not load them to the stated maximum capacity of 2,500 pounds per shelf. Use common sense when loading them: heavier items toward the ends of the shelves and on the bottom shelf, etc. THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND THAT THE INSTRUCTIONS DON'T MENTION: - Make SURE that you check EACH cross beam for proper, full insertion into each slot in the frame, and that you check EACH shelf support channel as you install them for proper and full insertion of the pins that secure the channel ends to the cross beams (checking to make sure the pin end is visible coming out of the bottom of the channel and tapping the channels sideways to make sure they are pinned in on both ends is a good way to do this). It's very easy to inadvertently miss one slot when inserting the cross beams, or to feel that a pin was properly inserted and yet miss the holes in the channel and look like it is properly assembled. - Keep the lengthwise wires of the wire shelves UP and the short crossway wire side down when positioning the wire shelves otherwise the wires at the edges rest only on the pin heads (you'll see what I mean when you assemble it). - The wire shelves are sturdy and useful as is, but f you need to store small items and want to have a solid shelf without the holes, you can go to Lowe's or HD and have them cut 1/4" or 1/2" thick plywood or floor underlayment to line the shelves with: 22" wide x 71-3/4" long does the trick to make sure the wood rests completely on the shelf to best spread the load.
